It prevents these ticket scalpers calling themselves "ticket agencies" from buying season tickets.Other than the fact that they have the shittiest coach in the NFL, I have always liked the Giants. A little. I am, of course, a 30 year Patriot fan and will remain so wherever I may go.
sleepyCO wrote:The "kneel-down TD"? Details, please--can I guess that the kneel-down itself was a fake (since the play is blown dead as soon as the knee touches down) and then there was a score? (I'm thinking along the lines of the "fake spike TD" that Dan Marino once pulled on the Jets in the Meadowlands a few years back . . . .)

It's customary for the QB to kneel down and let the clock run out in games in which you are comfortably ahead, to avoid injury, and generally the losing team obliges by only putting on a half hearted rush of the QB. However, on this play, Cunningham faked the kneel down, then threw a TD bomb to his uncovered and ignored wide receiver that had raced down the field undetected. Like I said earlier, I've never seen nor heard of this happening in any level of football since this happened 20 years ago....it was a purely vindictive, classless act by a coach who never won a playoff game and was fired for his incompetence.

Needless to say it worked like a charm and they scored a TD on it. Sam Wyche wasn't much of a fan of Jerry Glanville at the time and did this to prove it.

FormCritic wrote:I can't figure out why Coughlin wasn't fired last year. He certainly deserved it.However, the Giants are not in the bin for 2007 just yet. They played a tough Cowboys team and a Green Bay team that has built a powerful defensive line.
Agent Cooper wrote:Well, maybe not. I hope things get better, but our defense looks really bad right now. The secondary is swiss cheese, pressure on QBs is nonexistent and nobody seems motivated to actually tackle anybody. And the penalties! Coughlin is supposed to be about discipline, but it seems to me we've had more penalties in the last couple of seasons than ever.

Not unless they have a VERY good game and Philadelphia makes some mistakes.Right now, Dallas looks like the team to beat in the NFC East. I think it's going to end up between them and the Eagles this year.But it's early yet.
